Chapter 132: Changes in the World (4)

"Plans are in people, and things are done in heaven, why should the lord be discouraged!" Liu Ji couldn't figure out why the lord, who had always been full of confidence, suddenly became a little depressed, and encouraged slightly.

summoned so many Tianjiao, dominated the land of two counties, and defeated Cao Cao under the Tiger Prison, he was a young hero in the eyes of the world, but in the end, Yang Shuo found that he still had nothing, even if there were millions of soldiers and thousands of generals, he still couldn't match that small piece of grain.

Although Yang Shuo is not a master of the art of war, but Yang Shuo still understands the principles that have been passed down to future generations for many years, what is the military and the second is the second to fight, what is the plan in the people, and the success is in the sky, Yang Shuo understands, but there is no food, isn't it all in vain?

Looking back at the back, because Yang Shuo and Liu Ji were walking side by side in front, the generals didn't follow too closely and didn't notice Yang Shuo's gloomy look, and their hearts were a little relieved, as the lord, as the backbone, they were so unconfident, let alone others, turned their heads, took the water bladder handed by Shi Jin, poured a mouthful, and looked at Liu Ji with a sober mind: "Even if Berwyn has a thousand plans, it is not in vain if he has no food!" ”

"Don't say that!" Liu Jiwan smiled and said: "According to my plan, the lord only needs to send a light horse to go around Chang'an, and a big event can be expected!" ”

How much does a light cavalry cost, if you can use a light cavalry to capture Chang'an without much effort, Yang Shuo can wake up laughing when he sleeps.

"Berwynmo isn't lying to me?" Yang Shuo said with a smile.

Liu Ji hurriedly gave up his hand, "How dare you!" How dare you! ”

After the joke, Liu Ji will offer the strategy to tell the story, Xiang Yu burned the Abang Palace, Xianyang City also turned into ashes, Liu Bang built a new Chang'an City on this basis, carrying the rise and fall of the Western Han Dynasty for 200 years, and then the Eastern Han Dynasty for more than 200 years, Chang'an has been used as an important link to resist the northern aliens, connecting the Western Regions and Shuzhong, until Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, Chang'an and his unique light.

The forces around Chang'an include Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, Ma Teng and Han Sui in Xiliang, Li Dao and Guo Yan in Beidi, and Yang Shuo, who has recently risen in Hongnong. If Yang Shuo occupies Chang'an, he can go west out of Liangzhou to the Western Regions, and go south to Hanzhong to Bashu. If Ma Teng and Han Sui occupy Chang'an, they can go west out of Guanzhong to win the world, or they can go south to Shuzhong to occupy the rich land of Sichuan. Zhang Lu in Hanzhong has coveted money and food, but the only thing lacking is elite soldiers and war horses, and Guanzhong Xiliang warriors and war horses are famous all over the world, if they can occupy Chang'an, relying on Hanzhong's strong logistics support and supplemented by elite soldiers, he is not afraid of Yizhou, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others who are cowering in Beidi County are even more coveted to Chang'an. Therefore, for the princes around Chang'an, Chang'an is a fragrant bait and a wedge to make them stronger.

Now Chang'an is still in a situation where no one occupies it because the three forces are afraid of each other, although Chang'an is good, no one dares to set foot easily, and now Yang Shuo's sudden rise immediately made the princes around Chang'an not calm, one by one looking at Chang'an with their necks, afraid that others would occupy Chang'an first, and afraid that they would occupy Chang'an and be besieged by others, and finally the snipe and mussels competed for the fisherman's profit.

Liu Ji took a fancy to this, Chang'an seems to be calm but there is an undercurrent surging, Yang Shuo's rise has stimulated everyone's hearts, just a little bit of dialing will inevitably fight, just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

Although Yang Shuo does not have the strength to occupy Chang'an now, but Chang'an will be Yang Shuo's sooner or later, rather than facing a strong enemy in the future, it is better to let Ma Teng, Han Sui, Zhang Lu, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others eat dog to consume power, and wait for the harvest of grain and grass to take advantage of the opportunity to fisherman.

After Liu Ji's explanation, Yang Shuo suddenly realized, nodded and praised: "Berwyn's plan is very good!" When they were exhausted, I was making a move, Ma Teng, Han Sui, Zhang Lu, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others didn't dare to be angry but didn't dare to speak! ”

The more Yang Shuo thought about it, the more excited he became, and he almost looked up to the sky and laughed, but suddenly remembered someone who made him stop laughing.

Zhang Lu's ancestral home is Peiguofeng County, a warlord in the Hanzhong area in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the tenth grandson of Zhang Liang, the Marquis of the Western Han Dynasty, and the grandson of Zhang Ling, the ancestor of Taoism. Zhang Lu is the third generation of the Heavenly Master of the Five Bucket Rice Dao, and after killing Zhang Xiu, he continued to spread the Five Bucket Rice Dao in the Hanzhong area, and called himself "Shijun". Xiongzhong for nearly 30 years, after surrendering to Cao Cao, the official worshiped the general of Zhennan, sealed the Marquis of Langzhong, and ate 10,000 households.

In 191 AD, Liu Yan appointed Zhang Lu as the governor of Sima, and led troops with Sima Zhang Xiu of other departments to attack Hanzhong Taishou Sugu. After Zhang Xiu killed Su Gu, Zhang Lu killed Zhang Xiu again and captured his soldiers. and cut off the Xiegu Road, and under the instruction of Liu Yan, killed the imperial court envoy.

In 194 AD, Liu Yan died, and his son Liu Zhang took his place. Liu Zhang, on the grounds that Zhang Lu did not obey his dispatch, killed Zhang Lu's mother and her family. He also sent Pang Xi and others to attack Zhang Lu, which was broken by Zhang Lu many times. So Zhang Lu seized Hanzhong, educated the people with five buckets of rice, and established a **** regime.

In Yang Shuo's view, when Zhang Lu completed the secession of Hanzhong, Cao Cao's consolidation of Guanzhong had also deepened, at that time, Cao Cao's forces in addition to Yuan Shao in the north had stabilized the heavy princes, and even Liu Biao, who was in Jingzhou, did not dare to easily brush Cao Cao's beard, let alone Zhang Lu, and after Cao Cao's victory in the battle of Guandu, the power was unprecedentedly strong, and Zhang Lu did not dare to act rashly. The second is that although Liu Zhang of Yizhou is weak, he still understands the importance of Hanzhong to Bashu, and never forgets to collect Hanzhong, so the focus of Zhang Lu's troops has been in Yizhou and has no time to go north.

Although Zhang Lu is no longer facing a strong enemy like Cao Cao, the pressure on the north has decreased a lot, but whether Zhang Lu has the ambition to participate in the battle for Luoyang, if Zhang Lu does not participate, it is difficult to resist Ma Teng Han Sui in Xiliang, and the final result can only be to steal chickens and watch Chang'an fall into the hands of Ma Teng Han Sui.

Yang Shuo lowered his head and thought for a moment: "Has Berwyn ever thought about Zhang Lu?" Saying that, he turned his head to look at Liu Ji, "Zhang Lu is obsessed with the Five Doumi Sect, and he must always be on guard against Liu Zhang of Yizhou, does Zhang Lu have the courage and strength to participate in the battle for Luoyang?" If Zhang Lu doesn't participate, close to Li Dao and Guo Yan's family, it will only make Ma Teng and Han Sui's family dominant! ”

Liu Ji smiled slightly and said: "The lord is very worried, Ma Teng Han Sui has a heart for the Han family, and a heart for the Yellow River can only rely on external forces, once the power of Chang'an is greatly increased, will the two be reconciled as before?" Moreover, can Zhang Lu give up his biological mother and divide Hanzhong alone, can he be an ordinary person? How could such a character look at Chang'an and sit idly by? ”

Liu Bowen, who is worthy of dominating the country, has a much stronger grasp of people's hearts than Yang Shuo, the doubts in his heart are canceled, and the next action has a goal, Yang Shuo's heart immediately floated up, refreshed.
